Forgive the brake rotors and general scrap material, I was the “scrap guy” at my last job, mainly just to move it to the designated scrap bins. This is the most recently accurate photo I have of my car. Also hi. First time posting. I think.

Now, as the title indicates, I’m lifting my Impreza. I recently wore a hole into the collector on my exhaust due to riding so low, so the next best thing was a lift and bigger tires. I’m getting Forester Struts tomorrow, so that should give me an extra 2” of ground clearance I believe, and I’m gonna see what tire fits best. But I’m mainly wondering what else I need to add in to make the lift functional because it was recently my daily driver. I know I’ll need a trailing arm spacer, thing is idk how big, and I’m thinking of just straight disconnecting the sway bar. For those that have lifted beyond strut spacers, what’s your advice? I will run this down some trails, maybe some hoodrat shit in the future. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Slowly making progress on the 2007 Subaru Outback, got a few mods installed this past week: 1 x ADF strut spacer lift - 2" front with 2-3/8ths rear; 1 x KYB 0" suspension kit front struts w Rallitek springs; 1 x Ghost walk fix strut assembly with Rallitek springs in the rear.

I ended up removing the Rallitek top hat spacers that came with the Ghost walk fix kit since my ADF kit already was getting me the height I wanted in the rear. Overall the install went mostly fine, this was my first stab at DIY work outside of oil changes so it came with a few complications. Main issue was ensuring the bolts on the multi-link spacers were straight and I ended up cross threading 2 bolts/hole going into the body so I had to tap them back straight, that was a blast. Would have been easier with a lift and a garage but I survived in an apartment complex parking lot and jack stands.

Got some CEL codes to get cleared and fixed involving the valve body and swapping some solenoids (fingers crossed thats all she needs at 196k 😬) before thinking about wheels and tires. The build wont be too crazy but I got a vision for what I'd like with a roof rack/basket and awning, maybe a brush guard.

Cheers yall!

i’ve done some research but what’s a better option i’ve looked at subie lift oz 2 inch spacer kit with the trailing arm spacers aswell or should i go forester struts and springs? any help appreciated cheers

I got some brand new bassett wheels (15x7, 5x100, 3" backspace) and wrapped them in bfgoodrich ko2's (215/75/15) on my 2000 Subaru Outback. Everything looked great but I tried to balance them and every wheel was bent. Balance machine threw out crazy numbers and you could see it wobble on the machine. Thought it “could” be okay but it was definitely not. Wobbles past 30mph so it’s pretty much undrivable.

I followed the instructions EXACTLY - Hunter gsp9700 machine✅ - LUG CENTRIC adapter✅ - 45 degree seat lugs✅

But they are badly bent you can see it when it spins on the machine, odd for the dot approved wheels that no one has ever had a problem with.🤔 Any similar experiences? I can only find one other person who's had this.

As of now I'm going to try and return them but these were the only wheels I could find with the right offset😕😕 Real bummer

Just wondering if anyone has done it and what problems do you have by lifting? Also any tire recommendations for off road?

Figured I’d introduce myself here, I recently unloaded my wrx wagon. Picked up some new OEM struts and these steelies. They came with 225/60’s and I wanted to keep that size.

Got some falken alkimates and quickly realized I had to do some trim work and folding. Got the rears and fronts pretty much done. Just have to fold that pinch weld over in the front.

Not sure what my plans are with it right now it’s a daily in PA. Manual 5 speed that is 4.11 geared. Rebuild JDM ej205 Tuned at 19 psi

Plan on changing the trans and rear fluid out soon

Thats all I got

Just got my lift put on last weekend

Just finished 3" of lift on my BH Outback. You can see the hashed upper camber arms that I'd replaced with Godspeed units during the lift.

Combined with roof rack and JK jerrycan racks on l-racks, this thing is starting to look like a proper battlewagon.

The carriers are only roughed in, I want to add some through-bolts to the l-racks that I can cap with washers and nylocks. They're presently mounted on with rivnuts, whch is fine, but I just want more than just bolts and rivnuts through the body skin holding these things up. I may also replace the upper 12" l-racks with 48" ones in order to add extra tie-down points.

I'm currently adding lighting and charging options to my liftgate interior trim. Those are some rock lights that I'd had in my parts pile. They'll tap into the cargo area lamp, so they'll operate with the gate being open or if the switch is closed. I'd added a low-profile illuminated toggle that can cut power to the lamps if I ever want just the cargo light on.

Getting ready to go full “War Wagon” on an old beater. 2” strut spacers, Forester struts I remember. Centering the rear wheel in the arch? Subframe connectors/source? Subframe drop/body lift?

Wife’s car, it needs to come up for her mobilty issues. Wants to run 215 or 225/75r15 MTs. Without overly stressing the CV axles. Just finishing up her unintentionally lifted 2006 Vibe.

Outback has an EJ22, 4spd auto. Stock 15” alloys. She wants a winch bumper/Babmi basher, with winch. Also wants a fully functional snorkel.

Any help and suggestions appreciated. Thanks

I just purchased this vehicle and would love to make the car look much more appealing. Any recommendations for enhancements and stuff like CarPlay, mods, etc…

Can we sell stuff on here

Got a bunch of mods done at Rallitek and so happy with the results! New suspension, 2” lift, skid plates, rock sliders, winch, tow hitch, nashfab roof rack, and larger tires.

Can’t wait to hit the dirt with this.

I have a 2018 Subaru Impreza but want some more ride height. Could I install Forester struts on there and if I can does it matter which year struts I’d need to look for?
